Ardgillan Castle & Demesne
The Lady's Stairs railway footbridge is so-called because it is reputedly haunted by a female ghost. Best visited during summer months (Jun-Aug), a Walled Garden, Rose Garden, Conservatory and playground provide visitors with plenty of sight-seeing sustenance while exploring the park's 194 acres.
Tours - with text available in French, German, Irish, Italian and Spanish - can be arranged but must be booked in advance and admission to gardens is free. Motorists can get there by following signposts on the M1 while the 33 bus leaving from Lower Abbey St in the city also travels there. Email ardgillancastle@fingalcoco.ie for more.
